Rugby is a football code, so there is no difference. However, it is different from other football codes:
- Association football: the hands cannot be used, and goals are used instead of scoring zones.
- American football: the ball can be passed forward, and rules regarding the post-tackle situation are different.
- Gaelic football: several alterations in the goal, and methods of scoring and playing.
